Liezele

Liezele is a village and deelgemeente (sub-municipality) of the municipality of Puurs-Sint-Amands in the province of Antwerp, Belgium.

In 1662, the heerlijkheden (landed estates) of Liezele, Lippelo and Malderen [nl] became the property of J.F.

[4] In 1908, construction started on the Fort van Liezele as part of the National Redoubt.

Due to the speed of their advance, commander Fiévez asked permission to destroy the village of Liezele to deny the German Army cover.

On the night of 4 to 5 September, the village, church, castle, and manor houses were burnt and the walls of the buildings were torn down.
